This is a resource that site director Becky Striepe has wanted to integrate into the site for years. She says, “We get emails from readers looking to give away or find second hand craft supplies all the time, and I am thrilled that we can finally offer a place where crafters can share what they have! We wanted to create the Share and Swap as a resource for the crafty community to help reduce waste and connect supplies with crafters who need them.”

The Share and Swap is an online classified system where crafters can create free ads to give away extra materials, ask for supplies, or arrange swaps. Because it’s Crafting a Green World craft supplies, that can mean anything from vintage beads and buttons to quirkier materials like wine corks or clean, empty glass containers. Hop on over to Crafting A Green World and check out this great new resource.
